House Nanny Keeps Homes Tidy and Pets Having Fun

As a child, Nicole Taylor developed an unusual habit while visiting other people's houses: she would begin tidying them up, whether it was a closet or a room. Today, Taylor organizes homes for a living as the owner of House Nanny, her Albuquerque-based business that provides pet sitting services in addition to cleaning and organizing a living space.

Launched in 2012, House Nanny gives its clients peace of mind and more time to enjoy a higher quality of life through the services it provides. Some of the basic housekeeping services that the company provides include the thorough cleaning of kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms. But if someone needs to clear out clutter or prepare for a move, House Nanny is there for them, too. A consultation determines current space functionality, what items are to remain in a space, and the client's needs and wishes.

"This is a very customizable service, both the pet sitting and organizing," says Taylor. "Based on the client's needs, I try my very best to be flexible (and) accommodating to various requests within the scope of my services. Whether we are providing our organizing skills or our pet sitting services, I want to make it clear to all my clients and future clients that these services are treated very carefully and responsibility from my team and I."

To ensure each client's safety and privacy, every House Nanny employee is carefully vetted and must pass a background and criminal check. "My people are hand picked and thoroughly investigated," states Taylor. "I really understand the uneasiness people may feel in opening their home up to us and counting on us to take care of their home and pets in their absence. I take this into account every time someone new joins the House Nanny team."

All House Nanny pet sitters have years of experience caring for animals, usually dating back to their childhood years, and are trained in caring for skittish pets and doing everything from playing with dogs to cleaning kitty litter boxes.

In addition to housekeeping, organizing, and pet sitting services, House Nanny also offers a cleaning package for relocating homeowners that can be performed either on their new home or the old one. That includes scrubbing the bathroom, deep cleaning kitchen appliances, and cleaning windows and blinds among other duties.

Since every client is different and has different needs, Taylor and her team treat each one individually and with special care. "Whether we are providing our organizing skills or our pet sitting services, I want to make it clear to all my clients and future clients that these services are treated very carefully and responsibility from my team and I," says Taylor. "We don't care lightly, we care deeply."
